On the sesh with Premier League managers. A thread >


Taking the positives, decent preparation for the upcoming two-dayer against the PMs XI #Ashes2025


This is 100% correct. A team whose iconoclastic mindset can't/won't accommodate basic truths of the game.

Morning. Seen the replays. Look, Who am I to be having a pop but come on… you just can’t be playing at these. 1.5/2 feet outside? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Some of the others nicked off when they’re on the line of the body fair enough, but make bowlers earn their wickets!!

The TNT commentary is so bad it's painful. Two consecutive batsmen nick off throwing their hands at wide balls and NOT A SINGLE COMMENT about whether it's a sound decision to do that on a wicket with bounce and nip. Alastair Cook in there, too. 😓

You have to wonder where United would be with Iraola (or Glasner) in the dugout instead of Roobz.

There is no “both sides” here. The political aggression and taste for violence against innocent people are all coming from the left. It’s right there on the surface — “our grandparents were the original anti-Nazis” etc. And what’s a Nazi today? To a modern day liberal, it’s…



Fun Fact: everyone knows Joe Root's dad, Matt, played for Sheffield Collegiate CC but so too did Jacob Bethell's, Graham.

Footballers: any time your opponent is doing a Zidane turn, just put part of your body in the turning circle and you'll have the goal chalked off by VAR. Ridiculous decision. #CHEFUL

If you wondered how tough League cricket used to be, let’s go back to 1987. Central Lancashire League.

Here's how you can get a FREE chapter from award-winning author Scott Oliver's Sticky Dogs and Stardust - The Second Innings, all about Jesse Ryder's time at New Brighton... merseysidecricket.com/?p=4103


So what shots might a one-handed, left-handed Woakes have in the locker? Probably don't need many fielders in front of square...

Less than England's wides to win (16 first innings, 6 second innings).


Disappointed the Kia hasn't upgraded its covers to one giant coolbox with Gambhir's face on it #INDvsENG


Low ego, low maintenance, heart of a lion, will to win made from steel. Just terribly, terribly sad news. RIP Diogo. 😢

Deliveroo are gonna be busy tonight. Hearing Ben Stokes has ordered 178,422 portions of humble pie for his armchair critics.


An LBW review turned down for the ball pitching outside leg from AROUND THE WICKET is up there with Elon's Nazi salute as the most ill-judged thing of 2025. #ENGvIND


This #FrenchOpen final has been going so long that Alcaraz has grown a beard
